Yogamatters
Yogamatters is the British yoga house founded in 1996 by Iyengar teachers Paul Walker and Sandi Sharkey, with equipment shaped around the needs of students and studios.
Yogamatters: origin & history.
Paul Walker and Sandi Sharkey founded Yogamatters in 1996 to make mats and props available to yoga students and teachers in the United Kingdom. Its long connection with Iyengar practice remains visible in a collection of blocks, belts, cushions and other supports. The house also carries other makers, so its own-name products form a distinct part of the shop. The Form Rectangular Buckwheat Bolster is one of those pieces, with compact proportions for supported practice.

What catches our eye.
This bolster’s low rectangular shape is useful when a full-size cylindrical cushion feels too bulky. The handle and removable cover make it practical to move and maintain.
